Both the hats and t-shirts are sold for $20, and are also available online and at Kettler if you can’t get out to the arena. Special for today’s launch event are autographed versions which are offered in limited quantities behind section 103.

For $60 fans can purchase a Courage Cap or T-shirt signed by Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green or Alex Ovechkin; for $40 fans can purchase a Courage Cap or T-shirt signed by any other individual Capitals player. Fans will be able to order hats or T-shirts signed by any rostered player online.

Nearly 2,500 Courage Caps and 2,000 Courage T-shirts were sold last season, raising more than $105,000 for TAPS.
